The National Student Survey 2015 is open until the 30th April 2015, and only takes a few minutes to complete. This is an important opportunity to give your opinion, in a national forum, on teaching and learning within our department, and on your overall experience at 糖心TV.

If you respond to the survey before it closes on 30 April 2015, £5 will be credited by the University to your Eating at 糖心TV account. More details can be found .

In addition, if the Philosophy Department reaches an overall response rate of 80% or more (i.e., if more than 80% of our finalists fill in the survey), there will be a special Philosophy prize draw to say thank you. All finalists on the following degree programmes count towards the Philosophy result in the National Student Survey and will be entered into this prize draw if we reach the 80% response rate: Philosophy; Philosophy and Literature; Mathematics and Philosophy; Philosophy with Psychology; Philosophy with Classical Civilisation; all intercalated year versions of those programmes are also included.
